su -c is your friend, if you happen to be on the same machine as the account: rxvt -e su - clists -c pine Now, for ssh, things get trickier. Pine wants to control I/O in ways ssh doesn;t allow for when apssed on the ssh command line. In my experience, ssh & pine have never played nice with this : > rxvt -name clists -title clists -bg lightblue -fg black -e ssh \ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] pine So if I were you, I'd script the command - instead of pine, use, say pine-launcher.sh or something. > Can anyone suggest a one-line (e.g., can be put into fvwm2's > main-menu-pre-hook file) command that will successfully launch another > user's pine?

Although I've switched to evolution pretty much full time, which does really nice multi-account things. -- -------------------------------------------- -- Kevin "The Alchemist" Sonney -- -- ICQ: 4855069 AIM: ksonney -- -------------------------------------------- 320C 0336 3BC4 13EC 4AEC 6AF2 525F CED7 7BB6 12C9 "I will rule you all with an Iron Fist!
